My class got the opportunity to have a hands-on relationship with our teachers and to really prepare ourselves for our upcoming high school academic career. The teachers were always open to answering any questions, and validating our ideas. Or Hachaim taught me to be resourceful when I am attempting to achieve something.

Liron Ben Haroch graduated from Or Hachaim in 2012. He went to Valley Torah High School and graduated valedictorian. He was accepted to UCLA but deferred attending for a year to study at Mikdash Shmuel in Israel. We are very proud of Liron and his achievements and wish him good luck on his future journey.

Or Hachaim has touched my life in numerous ways in which only now I have come to acknowledge. The learning environment was a place of warmth, where students felt a special bond with their teachers. I have been especially grateful for the values Or Hachaim has instilled in me and my peers.

Or Hachaim has taught me the middot of having gratitude and positivity. I took these traits that I learned from Or Hachaim and brought them with me to high school. Or Hachaim’s friendly and supportive environment helped shape me into the person I am today. Thank you Rabbi Gabay and Mrs. Raskin for all of your hard work.

When I recently had to make a speech in front of 300 people I realized how much Or Hachaim brought out my inner confidence. Listening and watching Rabbi Gabay and Mrs. Raskin’s speeches throughout the years inspired me to take upon myself different leadership positions in pro-Israel and Jewish organizations. Or Hachaim wasn’t an ordinary school. It was our home away from home.
